"Our initiatives to reduce costs and increase profitability gained momentum in FY 2013, and we are pleased to report record profits for the year," said Dr. D.R. Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of Neuland Labs. "The reorganization of our business and accompanying capital infusion last year enabled us to reduce our financing costs and to realize greater efficiencies in our manufacturing operations. We intend to continue our focus on achieving greater growth along with enhanced profitability in the new fiscal year."

Revenues for FY 2013 were $85.0 million (4.61 billion INR*) compared to FY 2012 revenues of $82.7 million (4.48 billion INR), an increase of 2.8%. The increase in revenues primarily reflects gains in sales of the company's products and services from its API and Contract Research and Manufacturing businesses.

Neuland reported FY 2013 EBITDA of $11.3 million (614.5 million INR), compared to EBITDA of $8.9 million (483.5 million INR) in FY 2012, an increase of 27.1%.

After-tax profits in FY 2013 were $2.5 million (136.4 million INR), compared to after-tax profits in FY 2012 of $0.4 million (20.3 million INR).

"During fiscal year 2013, we made further progress in building a strong foundation for future growth and profitability," commented Sucheth R. Davuluri, Chief Executive Officer of Neuland Labs. "We are making good on our goal of strengthening our product mix with higher margin products and services, and we expect this trend to continue. Our manufacturing collaboration with API Corporation (APIC), a healthcare unit of Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group, was a notable advance this year, and we believe this alliance will enable us to raise our profile in Japan while better serving our customers around the globe."
